Options for Regulation of Unregistered Health Practitioners

In November 2010, the Australian Health Workforce Ministerial Council (AHWMC) agreed to conduct a national consultation on options for strengthening the regulation of unregistered health practitioners.

The consultation commenced on 28 February 2011 with the release of a consultation paper.  Consultation forums will be held in each State and Territory to enable all interested parties to contribute their views. The deadline for receipt of written submissions is Friday 15 April 2011. Submissions should be emailed to: unregisteredhealthpractitioners@health.vic.gov.au

Additional information including a copy of the consultation paper on 'Options for Regulation of Unregistered Health Practitioners, February 2011' can be downloaded from the Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council (AHMAC) website.
